This is the reason I was arguing intent earlier, as was her lawyer. How can you insult someone if you meant no offence?

Well you should always exercise dilligence, no matter what the country. There's no need to offend people unnecessairly, but if you do, you shouldn't be subject to jail time. Even if it is Sudan.
